[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 7515726, member: 1951"] I did all my patio 9 quite a big one) with a mortar gun and it was a god send. have done some in a brick wall too. You need to get the mix right, too little water and you will never get it through, too much and it runs away from you. plenty of plasticiser. I think I used 2 parts sand 1 part cement if you want a lighter joint use white cement Get a small mortar mixer to go on an electric drill and don't mix two much at a time. needs to be nice creamy consistency Fill your joint and get a jointing tool to run over it as soon as it is ready With an absorbent brick this will be 2-3 minutes on a hot day can be a couple of hours or more on a cold damp day if they are engineering. Start with small batches out of obvious view for a start and you will soon get the hang of it The best jointing tools come in different sizes you may find you need a couple if the joints vary as in a patio It can be done with a piece of water pipe, but I found the proper tool easier [/QUOTE]
